Disordered Eating Therapist in Boulder
Specializing in Disordered Eating Therapy for Women of All Ages in Boulder and Surrounding Communities
Are you experiencing disordered eating?
At the Colorado Women’s Center in Boulder, we understand that disordered eating is far more than simply skipping meals or obsessing over calorie counts. It can be a complex response to stress, body image concerns, or deeper emotional struggles that go unrecognized. These patterns might begin subtly—turning into rules around which foods are “safe” or “bad”—and gradually overshadow everyday life. Our goal is to help you reconnect with a balanced view of nourishment, taking into account the mental and emotional factors that shape your relationship with food. By offering a safe and nonjudgmental environment, we encourage you to explore the root causes of disordered eating, from negative self-talk to overwhelming anxiety. We also focus on reintroducing gentleness and flexibility into your eating habits, guiding you toward empowerment and self-compassion. Whether you’re grappling with binge eating, restrictive behaviors, or constant guilt around food, we believe that change is possible with the right support and a customized plan.

How can a CWC therapist help with disordered eating?
Healing from disordered eating isn’t solely about controlling your food intake—it’s also about understanding the emotions and thoughts that drive you toward rigid rules or self-punishing behaviors. At our Boulder center, therapy begins with identifying what triggers your unhealthy patterns. Maybe stress at work, social pressures, or painful past events have shaped a negative body image. Through tailored strategies like cognitive reframing, mindfulness practices, or self-awareness exercises, we help you gradually replace unhelpful habits with healthier coping mechanisms. We’ll also support you in recognizing personal progress, however small, because every positive shift matters. The journey may involve setbacks or moments of doubt, but each step away from disordered eating is a testament to your resilience. Ultimately, we aim to guide you toward a more balanced life, one where you can nurture your physical and emotional well-being without fear or guilt.
